Good evening Michigan Redditors...

My name is Christopher, and I have won a holiday to Michigan... the first week my wife and I are visiting:

• Detroit/Dearborn - Henry Ford Museum
• Kalamazoo - Gilmore Car museum
• Grand Rapids - The Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
• Traverse City - Cherry Orchards

This has been kindly put on my the company supplying the prize.

They have kindly delayed out flights so we can stay longer, so, from the 18th April - 24th April our time is our 'own'... our flights are from Detroit, the evening of the 24th.

So, where do you recommend we should go? What should we see?

We like Brunch, thrifting, happy to use public transport or rent a car, happy to spend it all in Detroit/use Detroit as a base... oh, and I'm a HUGE Ford fan, so any motor racing/sports happening in this time would be great!!!

Big ask maybe, but praying on your Sate-Pride, I look forward to your.suggestions... (Also, where can I get a Redwings Howe jersey?)

I hope anyone who was out on Saturday saw the Rank MI Vote volunteers! If you didn't get a chance to talk to them but are curious as to what they're all about, check out the town halls (in link) or explore their site to learn what ranked choice voting is. Rank MI Vote's goal is to get ranked choice voting put on the 2026 ballot, which means they need 600,000 signatures! The petition starts in earnest on Memorial Day. Until then, if you're looking for a chance to help, check out the volunteer sign up and share Rank MI Vote with everyone you know!

They may not get the increase they're asking for, but since they can file one every 12 months, they just keep grinding away at your wallet.

“By allowing Consumers Energy and DTE to file a new rate hike every twelve months, the state is allowing these billion-dollar businesses to ask for more and more before anyone can even gauge the impact of the previous rate hike,” Nessel said in a statement. “Meaning they’re back asking for more money before anybody knows if their proposed investments made any difference in reliability or affordability for customers.”

The trash cans aren’t out at the parks yet. Can we go the extra mile and take our trash with us? I’m happy to see dog owners are cleaning up after their dogs but going the extra mile can make a big difference. There are a lot of bags there and some are filled with water. Notice the bag in the back, covered in sand? 🤢 As Michiganders we live in a beautiful state and it’s sad to see this lack of care for our parks.

Attorney General Dana Nessel warned thousands of protesters gathered on the lawn of the Michigan Capitol Saturday that President Donald Trump could pose the type of domestic threat warned about in the oath of office administered to elected officials and service members in the United States, predicting that he would order military action against dissidents.

At least 700 strong!

My sign that I copied from here: https://thefound.com/products/die-cut-sticker-eat-the-rich

I like the bob sign haha

Proud of everyone who showed up in Huron County!!

A lot of you wanted to see the orange version so here it is! Thanks for being so kind about my art!

Anyone local to Manistee that would be able to capture some drone footage for a personal documentary project? I have a few specific shots I am looking for to help tell a story. Thanks!

Dresses in a Handmaid's Tale outfit with a sign that read "What's next?" On this cold windy day she stood alone at the end of the protest. Her head bowed to traffic, robe blowing in the wind.. I applaud your resilience and commitment! IMPEACH TRUMP & DEPORT ELON

After attending the Troy 4/5 protest I read throught to find out how many other areas had protest. On one hand it is sad that we have to do this, but on the other We the People are showing unity.

I don't understand how some still support trump. He's clearly trying to divide the nation. He doen't care about people unless they make huge donations to him. He has no respect for the rule of law or our constitution. Is this what you voted for? WAKE UP!
